| curl-6 said: Yeah for all the hype about it being the "best deal in gaming ZOMG" Game Pass always sounded unsustainable. It has ultimately failed to be a system seller, and it has trained the Xbox userbase not to actually buy games, which gives devs less incentive to release their software on the platform. |
I understand it's a popular time to dog pile Xbox, deservedly so for many reasons, but it should be important to note this is their opinion, not a fact the service is unsustainable. There is not a single piece of evidence layoffs are connected to Game Pass.
Way less 3rd party games are skipping Xbox than any previous generation. Franchises that were never on Xbox or had sparse releases are coming to the platform fully like Persona (thanks to Game Pass). Helldivers 2 is even coming to Xbox and has a good chance to be a top 10 seller on Xbox by the end of the year.
